S5IIX Overview - Digital Photography Review Panasonic Lumix DC-S5IIX Overview - Digital Photography Review
modern cameras in both video and stills are past now being 'good enough' for most users requirements" At the heart of the S5 II is a new processing engine that is the first product of Panasonic's L² co-development project with Leica. The two companies shared know-how and resources to develop the new processor, which we'd expect to see in future Leica models, too. The styling of the S5 II is very much in keeping with that of the original model: it's a mid-sized, fairly squared-off design with a very distinct SLR-like shape to it (compared, say, to Nikon's Z-series cameras). Despite being the smaller model in the company's L-mount lineup, it has extensive external control points, including details such as a dedicated AF mode switch, that are unusual at this level. The camera’s 2200mAh high-capacity battery DMW-BLK22 can be recharged either via AC or USB according to the users’ convenience. It also complies with USB PD (Power Delivery) when the corresponding Battery Charger DMW-BTC15 (sold separately) is used. Battery Grip DMW-BGS5 (sold separately) can be used in common with LUMIX S5.In europe you see more and more that no chargers are provided with products, with the presumption that the new owner already has the chargers needed, or buys what he wants... The LUMIX S5IIx will be available from June 2023 as a body only, as well as S 20-60mm lens kits and S 20-60mm with S 50mm F1.8 Twin lens kits. The LUMIX S5IIX is capable of 5.8K Apple ProRes recording to SSD via HDMI or USB, and ALL-Intra Recording. Additionally, the S5iiX can support Apple Pro Res RAW video output to Atomos. It also supports wiredand wireless IP streaming and USB tethering. Automatic Detection can be turned ON to switch between Human/ Face/Eye/ Animal+Human. Except when Pinpoint is set.
S5IIX vs S5II: Which camera is right for you? Panasonic Lumix S5IIX vs S5II: Which camera is right for you?
The fact is that the camera was initially set to save power and after the viewfinder refresh rate was increased, the viewfinder impression improved a bit. However, this impression remained far behind the viewfinder experience of competitors like Sony, Canon, or Nikon. Panasonic Lumix S5IIX: full-sensor internal 4:2:0 10-bit 6K (3:2) and 5.9K (16:9) footage at 30fps, 4:2:2 C4K and 4K at up to 60fps The differences between the Lumix S5 II and S5 IIX amount to much more than a fancy paint job. Although they are quite technical and deep, the S5 IIX’s advantages will be highly significant for serious and professional filmmakers, and will probably make the price difference look very modest by comparison.I'm a Sony user, and I think that S5II is a terrific camera, and that Panasonic's ecosystem is great, and their future is bright (unless... an asteroid kills them; something that can happen to anyone). Motion pictures with 72Mbps or less: External USB-SSD, SD memory card with SD Speed Class with Class 10 or Video Speed Class 10 or higher Naveed Akhtar, The change to PDAF is one of the key points of this camera and quite an attention grabber for the brand. Lumix S5 II: 6K ‘open gate’ up to 30p, 5.9K up to 30p, C4K/4K 10-bit 4:2:2 internal up to 60p (APS-C/Super35 crop) I have nothing against Sony. I only tried an A7iii and didn't like the handling. All that means that to me, subjectively, Panasonic was a much better fit. Just like the ominous "color science", this surely is also related to what you're used to.
Great Deal
